Description

Craftspeople who admire striking Indian designs can now create beautiful, colorful beadwork originated by the Chippewa, Iroquois, Pawnee, Seminole, Winnebago, and other American Indian tribes.
This book is a complete guide to this time-honored handicraft, offering step by step instructions, clear diagrams, and 71 tribal designs for two sorts of traditional bead applications — bead weaving and appliqué beading.
You’ll find fifty versatile designs charted on graph paper for bead weaving and twenty-one full-size patterns for appliqué, including transfer instructions and color keys. Easy-to-follow directions tell you tips on how to construct your own bead loom.
Choose from a wealthy array of motifs rendered from authentic American Indian artifacts found in museum collections — stars, exciting geometrics, sunbursts, exquisite florals, and a lot more.
Beadcrafting is surprisingly easy to be told, offering hours of enjoyment and satisfaction. Follow the charts to weave belts, headbands, sashes, necklaces, and other eye-catching accessories. Use the appliqué patterns to decorate leather, denim, and other fabrics for handbags, vests, blouses…anything that would be enhanced by a touch of distinctive Indian beadwork.
With this affordable do-it-yourself book, you’ll be able to create beautiful projects for yourself and your circle of relatives and memorable gifts — for a fraction of the cost you’d pay in a store.
